The kitchen wasn’t very well-equipped and the owner was slow to respond to our concerns. The roof top has great views and a lot of chairs and loungers but could use some shade in order to be a more useable space. Overall, it was a good stay. ##### Kelly F. Stayed 17 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### michael g. 26 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice large apartment We were looking for a place away from the tourist areas because of the all night partying and traffic .This large clean 2 bedroom apartment certainly had the potential to meet our needs. However , being situated in a working class neighborhood it came with it's own noise challenges .Many barking (6-8) dogs and plenty of traffic during waking hours but okay after hours . The roosters in the neighborhood also reminded me of growing up on a farm . lol .The owner was away and we eventually were able to meet up with his friendly mother and gain entrance. Overall a good stay with some really good authentic restaurants nearby and grocery stores and restaurants/ bars all within a short walk or cheap cab ride . We enjoyed our stay ##### michael g.
